Product Description
Genuine 40494 Fuel Pump (Vintage Rebuilt)
Restore the fuel delivery system of your classic Pontiac OHC-6 to factory performance standards with this professionally rebuilt mechanical fuel pump. Proudly Made in the USA, this genuine vintage unit is a period-correct component essential for high-quality restorations. By utilizing high-quality original castings, this rebuilt pump maintains the authentic look and rugged durability that modern mass-market replacements often fail to provide, ensuring your overhead-cam engine receives steady, reliable fuel pressure.
This specific model, 40494, is the verified fitment for 1967-1968 Pontiac applications. It is the designated fuel pump for Tempest and Firebird models equipped with the 250 cubic inch inline 6-cylinder engine and a 1-barrel carburetor configuration. This unit serves as the primary replacement for original equipment part number 644 0494 and interchanges with Carter model M4521S. It is engineered to meet the specific operating pressure required for Pontiac's overhead-cam (OHC) 1-barrel fuel systems during the late 1960s.
